Inquisitor Lord Hector Rex

Hey All,

Well, I've been reading through the Siege of Vraks and looking at this Hector Rex character. On top of things he seems good, they give him +1 strength, but my quarrel is that he's still only toughness 3, leaving him open to simple Insta-gib again.

On the outside he seems good, but he's probably only truly useful against Chaos armies, which is where I'm stuck. I considered purchasing the model and really decking out a Land Raider to be his personal transport, you know, heraldry, special detailing, the whole nine yards but then again, that toughness three keeps standing out to me.

What does anyone else think? (Obviously he'd only be useful for friendly games, since tournaments are too shaky as to whether you play against Chaos or not)

Re: Inquisitor Lord Hector Rex

Yeah, his points are a bit much but he does have the 3+ Storm Shield. As you said, standard games, like against Orks or Eldar or something he probably wouldn't be so great, although with Strength 4 he does well. It's just the concern of only having to in mostinstances roll 3's to hurt him. But yeah, he'll at least have the retinue with him.

Re: Inquisitor Lord Hector Rex

Why don't you use his model as a proxy for a Grand Master in normal games? It is indeed a beautiful figure, but if you're worried about his lack of toughness in an army of GKs, run him as a GM. Just use him as a his regular character in friendly, pre-arranged games.

Out of the blackness and the stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.

Re: Inquisitor Lord Hector Rex

Hrm, a good suggestion, and one that I suppose I will go with. Although I do like my Grand Master now, he was one of my first models, and does need an update as I find him to be painted poorly. Alright, I'll just bid furiously for him on eBay.

*Ponders how to convert Rex into a nurgling* Oh Hai EB!
